New Students

  • Detailed information about your arrival date can be found in your Pre Check-In Confirmation e-mail.
  • If you are planning to bring a car to campus, you will need to purchase a parking permit from Campus Police. Additional details regarding permit cost can be found by logging on to the online parking permit request page. For students, when a vehicle is registered with Campus Police, the cost of the parking permit is automatically charged to your student account. Students can pick up their parking pass at Campus Police when they arrive on campus.
  • It's never too early to begin the packing process. Start by knowing what you can bring to campus (PDF-502KB) this year in addition to what items are prohibited (PDF-406KB) in the residence halls.

Returning Students

  • August 16, 18, 19: You will receive instructions to pick up your keys at our drive-through check-in process located at Winthrop Lake, which is not on the main campus.
  • Or you will receive instructions to check-in and pick up your keys at your Residence Hall, or another specified location, if you have permission to arrive on a day other than August 16, 18, & 19.

    More information can be found on the Move-In Day page.

Students participating in early arrival groups must have an invitation from the sponsoring department. No early arrivals outside of prearranged groups are allowed.


Required Quarantine & Isolation Plan

All residential students must submit a Quarantine & Isolation plan of action to Residence Life in Eaglesnest outlining their intentions of where they will go to quarantine or isolate. You will submit your plan when selecting your move-in time slot during your Pre Check-In Process.

Example: If I were to need quarantine & isolation housing, I will drive to my home in Irmo, SC and stay with my family. I will have a place to stay for the necessary time I need to quarantine and/or isolate. If for some reason I were unable to go home, I will stay with my aunt in Simpsonville, SC.
